Anderson Metals Corp 714046-1012 Flare Fip Connector

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 714046-1012 is a flare-to-female pipe thread connector designed to transition a 5/8 inch flare fitting to a 3/4 inch female iron pipe thread (FIP) connection. This brass fitting is a standard component in gas and refrigerant piping systems where a flare line must terminate at a threaded female port. It is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for installations subject to current lead-free plumbing standards. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters install this type of connector when joining flared tubing to threaded pipe assemblies in both new construction and service work.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial applications where 5/8 inch flare tubing meets a 3/4 inch female threaded fitting or valve body. Typical install scenarios include natural gas and LP appliance connections, refrigerant line terminations, and hydronic or utility gas piping where a flare-to-pipe-thread transition is required. The part is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for contractors stocking common transition fittings on service vehicles or in shop inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard flare-to-female pipe thread transition fitting for use in gas, refrigerant, and utility piping systems that require a 5/8 inch flare to 3/4 inch FIP connection.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, gas fitters, or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. The flare end requires a properly formed flare on the tubing — inspect the flare seat for cracks or irregularities before making up the joint. Apply thread sealant rated for the service medium to the FIP threads; do not apply sealant to the flare seat.
